The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
In the fabrication process of next generation integrated circuits, a high-k metal gate process is typically employed for the fabrication of Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) gates.
No matter the metal gate is first or last, aluminum diffusion is one of the main problems affecting the reliability and performance of the device, for example, the reliability of Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown (TDDB), Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI), Positive Bias Temperature Instability (PBTI), etc. is negatively affected, and aluminum diffusion also affects the mobility of carriers and reduces the performance of the device. To avoid the aluminum diffusion problem, it is common practice to deposit a work function layer for PMOS and then a work function layer for NMOS.
However, the metal tungsten adopted as the metal gate material in the gate last process has no influence of the Al diffusion problem. For the SRAM device, the performance mismatch problem between the pull-down transistor PD and the pull-up transistor PG dominates the SRAM yield. The gap filling capability of the metal gate material for PMOS devices is also highly challenging.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new manufacturing method to solve the deficiencies of the prior art.

The sacrificial gate dielectric layer is then removed by any method known to those skilled in the art.
Next, step S203 is performed to form a high-k dielectric layer on the bottom and the sidewalls of the first and second gate trenches.
In one example, referring to fig. 1B, first, an interface layer 105 is formed at the bottom of the first gate trench and the second gate trench, and then a high-k dielectric layer 106 and a capping layer 107 are sequentially formed on the bottom and the sidewall of the first gate trench 104p and the second gate trench 104 n.
The Interface (IL) layer 105 is made of a material including silicon oxide (SiOx), and is formed to improve the interface characteristics between the high-k dielectric layer 106 and the semiconductor substrate 100.

In this embodiment, the material of the capping layer 107 is preferably TiN.
In one example, a step of annealing the capping layer 107 is further included in this step. The annealing treatment can adopt the processes of furnace tube annealing, rapid annealing, laser annealing and the like, and the temperature of thermal annealing can be 400-1000 ℃.
Thereafter, a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process may be performed to planarize the NMOS and PMOS regions, and the CMP process may be used to remove the excess high-k dielectric layer 106 and the capping layer 107 to expose the interlayer dielectric layer 103. An etch-back process may also be used to remove excess high-k dielectric layer 106 and capping layer 107 to expose interlayer dielectric layer 103.
Step S204 is performed, and a sacrificial material layer is filled in the second gate trench.
Referring to fig. 1C, a sacrificial material layer 108 is filled in the second gate trench 104 n. The material of the sacrificial material layer 108 may be selected from, but not limited to, bottom anti-reflective coating, amorphous silicon, amorphous carbon or organic material (e.g., DUO, DUVLight Absorbing Oxide), or other suitable material, and the material of the sacrificial material layer 108 has excellent ability to fill the trench and easy removal from the trench. After the sacrificial material layer 108 is deposited on the semiconductor substrate 100, a planarization process is performed to expose the interlayer dielectric layer 103, and the planarization process may be performed by dry etching or chemical mechanical polishing.
Next, step S205 is performed, a first blocking layer and a first work function layer are sequentially formed on the high-k dielectric layer in the first gate trench, and a first metal gate layer is filled in the first gate trench.
A first barrier layer 110 and a first work function layer 111 are sequentially formed on the high-k dielectric layer 106 in the first gate trench 104p, and a first metal gate layer 109 is filled in the first gate trench 104 p.
The material of the first barrier layer 110 may be selected to be TaN, Ta, TaAl or other suitable thin film layer. The first barrier layer 110 may be formed using a suitable process such as CVD, ALD, or PVD. The first barrier layer 110 has a thickness ranging from 5 angstroms to 40 angstroms.

In this embodiment, the first work function layer 111 is preferably TiN. The P-type work function layer may be formed using a suitable process such as CVD, ALD, or PVD. The P-type work function layer has a thickness ranging from 10 angstroms to 580 angstroms.
The material of the first metal gate layer 109 preferably comprises TiAl. Other suitable materials having very good gap-filling capabilities may also be used. The first metal gate layer 109 may be formed using a suitable process such as CVD, ALD, or PVD. Since TiAl has very good gap-filling capability, no voids are formed in the formation of the first metal gate layer 109 using the above process. After depositing the first metal gate layer covering the first gate trench 104p, the first metal gate layer except the top of the first gate trench 104 may be removed by a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process and/or a Blanket etch back (Blanket etch back) process.
Thereafter, a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process is performed to planarize the NMOS region and the PMOS region to form a first metal gate layer 109 in the PMOS region. The CMP process may have a high etch selectivity of the first metal gate layer 109 to the interlayer dielectric layer 103. The first metal gate layer 109, the first work function layer 111, and the first barrier layer 110 may be removed by a CMP process to expose the interlayer dielectric layer 103, and to level the top of the first metal gate layer 109 in the PMOS region, the top of the sacrificial material layer 108 in the NMOS region, the gate spacer, and the top of the interlayer dielectric layer 103. An etch-back process may be further used to remove the excess first metal gate layer 109, the first work function layer 111, and the first blocking layer 110 to expose the interlayer dielectric layer 103.
Thereafter, in one example, the following steps may also optionally be performed: and etching back the first metal gate layer to form a groove.

In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the etch-back process may be performed using a dry etching process, which includes, but is not limited to: reactive Ion Etching (RIE), ion beam etching, plasma etching, or laser cutting. For example, plasma etching is used, and a gas based on boron chloride and chlorine gas can be used as the etching gas.
The depth of the etch-back process may be adjusted according to the actual process, and is not particularly limited herein. The etch-back process for the first metal gate layer 109 is added in this step, so that the polishing uniformity of the CMP process is better when the NMOS is filled with the second metal gate layer, such as W, and the second metal gate layer can also be filled with the groove on the etched-back first metal gate layer after etch-back, thereby avoiding the over-polishing problem for the first metal gate layer due to the difference in material and hardness between the first metal gate layer and the second metal gate layer during the CMP process for the W metal gate.
Next, step S206 is performed to completely remove the sacrificial material layer to expose the high-k dielectric layer in the second gate trench.
The sacrificial material layer in the second gate trench may be removed by wet etching or dry etching.
In one embodiment of the invention, dry etching may be used to remove the sacrificial layerThe material layer is etched by a dry etching process including but not limited to: reactive Ion Etching (RIE), ion beam etching, plasma etching, or laser cutting. For example, using plasma etching, the etching gas can be oxygen (O) -based2-based) gas. Specifically, dry etching is achieved using lower rf energy and generating low pressure and high density plasma gas. As an example, a plasma etch process is used using an etch gas based on oxygen (O)2-based), the flow rate of the etching gas can range from 50 cubic centimeters per minute (sccm) to 150 cubic centimeters per minute (sccm), and the pressure in the reaction chamber can range from 5 millitorr (mTorr) to 20 mTorr. Wherein, the etching gas of the dry etching can also be hydrogen bromide gas, carbon tetrafluoride gas or nitrogen trifluoride gas. It should be noted that the above etching method is only exemplary and not limited to this method, and those skilled in the art may select other common methods.
Next, step S207 is performed to sequentially form a second work function layer and a second barrier layer on the high-k dielectric layer in the second gate trench.
Referring to fig. 1D, in one example, a second work function layer 113 and a second barrier layer 114 are sequentially formed on the capping layer 107 within the second gate trench. In this step, a mask layer may also be formed to cover the PMOS region to prevent the second work function layer 113 and the second barrier layer 114 from being deposited in the PMOS region. After the process is completed, the mask layer is removed, and preferably, the mask layer is made of a photoresist layer.
When the second device type region corresponds to an NMOS region, the second work function layer 113 is an N-type work function layer, the N-type work function layer (NWF) is an NMOS work function adjustable layer, and the material of the N-type work function layer may be selected from, but not limited to, TaAlC, TaC, Ti, Al, TixAl1-x or other suitable thin film layers. In this embodiment, the material of the N-type work function layer is preferably TaAlC. The carbon doped in the TaAlC can effectively inhibit the diffusion of the metal aluminum. The N-type work function layer may be formed using a suitable process such as CVD, ALD, or PVD. The thickness of the N-type work function layer ranges from 10 angstroms to 80 angstroms. A second barrier layer 114 is formed on the N-type workfunction metal layer, and the material of the second barrier layer 114 may be selected from, but not limited to, TaN, Ta, TaAl, or other suitable thin film layer. The second barrier layer 114 may be formed using a suitable process such as CVD, ALD, or PVD. The second barrier layer 114 has a thickness in the range of 5 angstroms to 20 angstroms.
Next, step S208 is performed to fill a second metal gate layer in the second gate trench.
Referring to fig. 1D, a second metal gate layer 115 is filled in the second gate trench 104n and the recess 112. A second metal gate layer 115 is deposited over the first metal gate layer 109, over the second barrier layer 114.
The material of the second metal gate layer 115 may be selected from, but not limited to, one or more of tungsten, silver, gold, tin, or other suitable thin film layers. In this embodiment, the material of the second metal gate layer 115 is preferably tungsten. The second metal gate layer 115 may be formed using a suitable process such as CVD, ALD, or PVD. No voids are formed during the formation of the second metal gate layer 115 using the above process.
Thereafter, a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process is performed to planarize the NMOS region and the PMOS region to form a second metal gate layer 115 in the NMOS region and the PMOS region, respectively. The CMP process may have a high etch selectivity of the second metal gate layer 115 to the interlayer dielectric layer 103. The CMP process is used to remove the excess second metal gate layer 115 to expose the interlayer dielectric layer 103, and to level the top of the second metal gate layer 115 in the PMOS region, the top of the second metal gate layer 115 in the NMOS region, the gate spacers, and the top of the interlayer dielectric layer 103. And removing the redundant second metal gate layer by adopting an etching-back process to expose the interlayer dielectric layer.
